The Orioles have been borderline unwatchable in the month of August. I say borderline only because, for some reason, we’re all still tuning in.
The product on the field becomes increasingly difficult to stomach when articles suggest that the rebuild is behind schedule. Fans were warned that there would be low points in the rebuild, but the thought of prolonged suckage is enough to make anyone check out.
There is no true way of knowing whether the Orioles’ rebuild is “on schedule.” I think anyone in the game would point out that it’s a fluid situation. Some luck could expedite the process, and a few bad breaks could slow things down.
